Every Night: Billionaire Sweet & Steamy Romance
Lexy Timms
New poem in Poet Lore that's equal parts baby fact I read somewhere, mythology, and how my daughter used to sing herself to sleep. Here's "View from Eurydice's Shoulder" "Every night after I tuck my daughter in she sings. Which means absence..." https://t.co/zU5yrloFuP

Persuasion: Large Print Edition
Jane Austen
this is about a tweet I saw saying the adaptation of persuasion may not be for some people and that doesn’t make it bad… but maybe it is bad and that’s why it isn’t for some people?? and maybe a bad Jane Austen show is also what others need?? that doesn’t suddenly make it good

Madness
Sam Sax
So I was really struck by sam sax’s book “madness.” Any love poem by Carl Phillips is going to be one of the best love poems you’ll ever read. Chase Berggrun’s “Red” is fantastic. I love the work of Ben Kline, Cyndie Randall, Donika Kelly, Mark Doty, and Sam Herschel.

Don't Let Me Be Lonely: An American Lyric
Claudia Rankine
@natallman Claudia Rankine does this in Citizen Of and Don't Let Me Be Lonely to great effect. I don't feel any which way about it--it's not like I am automatically excited for them or suspicious of them--but when it works I appreciate it.

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
Annie Dillard
@natallman ohhhh totally by accident! I was thinking of an image from Annie's Dillard "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" where she talks about how you can see how off-white snow is by putting a mirror on it and comparing the pure-white sky. Also I think I was working beside a bowl of fruit haha

Walking to Martha's Vineyard: Poems
Franz Wright
whenever a used book seller says a book's condition is acceptable I think about the acceptable used book of Franz Wright's "God's Silence" I bought where some pobro wrote his own poems in the margins (not acceptable!)
